ACFL Division 2

Moneyglass 8-10 Rasharkin 1-7

St. Ergnat’s Moneyglass are the early pace setters in division 2 and on Wednesday night they served notice that they are likely to be challengers for the title after making the drop from division 1 last year.

Much of last year’s demise was down to the loss of players with a number moving to Australia and they were forced to hand debuts to a number of youngsters.

This season Benny Marron’s side has shown a lot of improvement and the knowhow the former St. Ergnat’s keeper has brought to the table is producing early season results.

Narrow wins over Naomh Comhghall at home and Gort na Mona away were as much down to battling performances and organisation as ability but on Wednesday night the Moneyglass side shook of the shackles and it was South West rivals, Rasharkin who felt the full force.

Seanchan Duffin got them on their way with an early goal with Tyler Cassidy getting a second and Cassidy and Sean Boyd adding points.

The home side were running riot and Conor Boyd got through for a fourth goal and added a good 2 pointer as St. Mary’s struggled to contain a rampant St. Ergnat’s side.

There would be no respite for the men from Dreen as the game moved into the second half as Aidan McErlain found the net twice in quick succession and Charlie McCloskey got in for another before Tyler Cassidy completed his hat trick.

Moneyglass now move top of the table on maximum points with Sarsfields who had a good win over St. Teresa’s with St. Ergnat’s holding a better score difference.

St. Ergnat’s scorers: Tyler Cassidy 3-3, Aidan McErlain 2-1, Conor Boyd 1-3, Seanchan Duffin 1-0, Charlie McCloskey 1-0, Sean Boyd 0-3
